A vote facilitated by the faculty senate at West Texas A&M in Canyon has condemned WT President Walter Wendler for not towing the woke agenda when he canceled a scheduled drag queen show on campus in March. According to the Texas Tribune, WT’s faculty senate president Ashley Pinkham said there were 179 votes to condemn Wendler and 82 against it.
The vote has no impact on Wendler’s tenure and was wholly symbolic. The majority 179 faculty members who voted to condemn Wendler hope it sends a message to Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp and the Board of Regents that the faculty wants their drag queen shows to continue unmolested by a university president who dared to challenge the woke ideology the majority of WT’s faculty advocates.
The senate sent out 368 ballots to all faculty and librarians at WT. A spokesman told the Tribune that of that number, 281 ballots were cast.
